Thursday, February 23, 2006 |

The Jerusalem District Court convicted Yitzhak Tzeziashvilli and hitman Rafi Nahmani on all charges on Thursday in the murder of Tel Aviv District Court Judge Adi Azar in July 2004. Tzeshiashvilli was sentenced to another term of life in prison for murder, concurrent with the one he is already serving. Nahami was also sentenced to life for murder of Azar and another five years for escaping from prison. "A series of facts have been proven which would be appropriate for a horror movie. But this time, to our sorrow, it is fact," Judge Zvi Segal wrote in his decision.
